The Houston Texans have officially signed defensive end Derek Parish to a contract as of Wednesday. This move comes as Parish looks to re-enter the NFL after not making the 53-man roster of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2023, where he was selected as a seventh-round draft pick.
At 27 years old, Parish is expected to participate in the Texans' upcoming preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. His addition to the roster comes at a time when other defensive players, Jadeveon Clowney and Dominique Robinson, are dealing with injuries, which may open up opportunities for Parish to showcase his skills on the field.
Further details regarding the specifics of the contract or Parish's role within the team have not yet been disclosed.
